The main shopping area in Westcliff-on-Sea is Hamlet Court Road, where the department store Havens, established in 1901 remains the anchor store.

* In Act V of Hamlet, Hamlet is in the graveyard, speculating on the possible former identities of the remains being removed from the grave: " This fellow might be in's time a great buyer of land, with his statutes, his recognizances, his fines, his double vouchers, his recoveries: is this the fine of his fines, and the recovery of his recoveries, to have his fine pate full of fine dirt?

Hamlet claims to have brought her and tens of thousands of her fans to the Superhoop to stop Kaine's interference, but in reality it was only nine fans and Farquitt remains as elusive as ever.

* Yet framing opportunism as a lesser evil implies the absence of clear positive principles of what would be good to do ; Baldwin could be understood as saying that the political process is itself the means by which it is sorted out what those principles should be, or that politics can achieve no more than prevent worse things from happening ( in his play Hamlet, William Shakespeare refers to the conservative notion of being " cruel to be kind " – so that " bad begins and worse remains behind ").

When deciding whether to bring Hamlet to England, Rosencrantz concludes that they might as well continue on the path on which they are already.

1, rather like the way nothing can be found in Shakespeare's play to determine whether Hamlet was right-or left-handed.

Laertes and Fortinbras in Shakespeare's play Hamlet are also examples of character foils-all faced with the dilemma of how / whether to achieve revenge for the murder of their fathers, Laertes and Fortinbras serve to highlight Hamlet's morality.

Murray's major book is Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace, which asks whether the computer can provide the basis for an expressive narrative form, just as print technology supported the development of the novel and film technology supported the development of movies.

Hamlet speaks this on his entry to Act 3 scene 1 ( known as the ' nunnery scene ' because of the Hamlet / Ophelia dialogue after the speech ) which is when Polonius and Claudius put into effect their plan, hatched in Act 2 scene 2, to watch Hamlet with Ophelia to determine whether, as Polonius thinks, his ' madness ' springs from " neglected love ".

" Dramatist W. S. Gilbert said of Bourchier's Hamlet, " At last we can settle whether Bacon or Shakespeare wrote the plays.

* The Interpretation of Murder ( 2006 ) by Jed Rubenfield contains a discussion with Sigmund Freud about the Astor Place Riot in which he suggests that theater goers rioted over whether Hamlet should be a feminine or masculine character.

We cannot conceive of Oedipus without a Sphinx, nor of Hamlet without a Ghost.

Horatio ( character ) | Horatio, Marcellus, Hamlet, and the Ghost ( Artist: Henry Fuseli 1798 )

After hearing from Horatio of the Ghost's appearance, Hamlet resolves to see the Ghost himself.

The Ghost demands that Hamlet avenge him ; Hamlet agrees, swears his companions to secrecy, and tells them he intends to " put an antic disposition on " ( presumably to avert suspicion ).

" The Ghost appears, urging Hamlet to treat Gertrude gently, but reminding him to kill Claudius.

In contrast, Goethe's Bildungsroman Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, written between 1776 and 1796, not only has a production of Hamlet at its core but also creates parallels between the Ghost and Wilhelm Meister's dead father.

Gielgud did voice the Ghost in both the stage and film version of the Richard Burton Hamlet, which he directed in 1964, and in the 1970 Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation starring Richard Chamberlain.

In Act I, Scene V, the Ghost urges Hamlet not to seek vengeance against Queen Gertrude, but rather to " leave her to heaven, and to those thorns that in her bosom lodge to prick and sting her.

A striking illustration of this occurs in his famous picture of " Hamlet breaking from his Attendants to follow the Ghost ": Hamlet, it has been said, looks as though he would burst his clothes with convulsive cramps in all his muscles.

The word beaver is sometimes used interchangeably with visor, as in Shakespeare's Hamlet, when Hamlet and Horatio are discussing the Ghost.

He has appeared in a number of Shakespearean roles on both stage and screen, including four of the five Shakespeare films directed by Kenneth Branagh: as The Duke of Exeter in Henry V ( 1989 ), Antonio in Much Ado About Nothing ( 1993 ), The Ghost of Hamlet's Father in Hamlet ( 1996 ) and the dual role of Duke Frederick and Duke Senior in As You Like It ( 2006 ).

For example, in Hamlet, " Hamlet's encounter with the Ghost becomes for Walpole a template for terror ".

Walpole presents a " more fragmented recasting " of the Ghost in Hamlet, which had served as a representation of the " now unsanctioned, but still popular Catholic view of ghosts as speakers of truth " for Shakespeare The Catholic elements at play within both Hamlet and Otranto are both invoked to represent a further sense of wonder and mystery to the Protestant audience of both works.

Third, Frederic's encounter with the skeletal apparition parallels the final appearance of the Ghost in Hamlet.

He played Shylock for nearly the next fifty years, as well as Iago in Othello and the Ghost in Hamlet.

King Hamlet appears as a Ghost four times in the play: in Act I Scenes i, iv, and v, and Act III Scene iv.

When the Ghost of her former husband appears to Hamlet, he describes her as a " seeming virtuous queen ", but orders Hamlet not to confront her about it and leave her judgement to heaven.

The play Hamlet has been performed a number of times in its courtyard.

Claudius convinces Laertes that Hamlet is solely responsible ; then news arrives that Hamlet is still alive — a story is spread that his ship was attacked by pirates on the way to England, and he has returned to Denmark.

This latter idea — placing Hamlet far earlier than the generally accepted date, with a much longer period of development — has attracted some support, though others dismiss it as speculation.

After reviewing various literary theories, Freud concludes that Hamlet has an " Oedipal desire for his mother and the subsequent guilt preventing him from murdering the man who has done what he unconsciously wanted to do ".

Feminist theorists argue that she goes mad with guilt because, when Hamlet kills her father, he has fulfilled her sexual desire to have Hamlet kill her father so they can be together.

Several times since 1995, the American Shakespeare Center has mounted repertories that included both Hamlet and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, with the same actors performing the same roles in each ; in their 2001 and 2009 seasons the two plays were " directed, designed, and rehearsed together to make the most out of the shared scenes and situations ".

The New York Times reviewed the play saying " Mr. Davalos has molded a daft campus comedy out of this unlikely convergence ," and nytheatres review said the playwright " has imagined a fascinating alternate reality, and quite possibly, given the fictional Hamlet a back story that will inform the role for the future.

The composition date of Hamlet has been a point of contention between scholars on both sides of the authorship question since the early 1900s.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is structured as the inverse of Hamlet ; the title characters are the leads, not supporting players, and Hamlet himself has only a small part.

Claudius enters again and tells them to find where Hamlet has hidden Polonius ' corpse.

They realize that Claudius has asked for Hamlet to be killed.
